Direct Book Sales vs. Third-Party Platforms
Selling books directly through your own website offers advantages like maintaining control over pricing and customer data, while avoiding price manipulation common on platforms like Amazon. By integrating a payment method with your website, authors can complete sales without redirecting customers. Additionally, direct sales enable setting personalized prices and considering shipping costs, distinct from Amazon's free shipping model. Authors turning to direct sales must rethink audiobook distribution, ensuring a coherent strategy.
